Life Lately

Life lately has been very busy. Even during a normal week, I feel like we are going this way and that. Between preschool, first grade, AWANA, BSF, other church happenings, doctor appointments, etc. I just keep thinking life will slow down soon, but perhaps not. These are all very good things, but it just keeps us so busy! My favorite moments have been in the later afternoon and evenings when we are all home together. So here is a snapshot of our everyday....
All the babes are now able to line up and watch a video. The favorite is always Curious George. 
 Thatcher Reid looking so sweet in his backpack. 

 All the babes drawing and coloring together at their little table in the living room. Thatcher Reid has to be monitored as he often likes to use our walls as his canvas. 
 Eleanor got a new Frozen tea set and threw a tea party for all her friends. 
 Preschool painting. She loved this and it kept her very occupied one morning. 
 Playing with modeling clay. 
 He is so sweet. And so spunky. And mostly stubborn. 
 This afternoon I lined up Everett, Hampton, and Eleanor and we made these candy corn owls step by step. I had looked up a few owl facts and as we were assembling them we had a little owl lesson. I think they turned out so cute. Everett named his Cupcake. Hampton named his Evelyn (no idea where he came up with that). And Eleanor named hers, well Ellie of course!
